Tom Brokaw did a special on the Discovery Channel. There's a place in CO that studies ice from the last 600,000 years. YES, the temps go up and down all the time, however, this current raise is of a greater magnitude, has come on faster, and shows no signs of going away, only continuing in the same direction.
I'm NOT a believer of the so-called experts in most fields. I remember, what was it, back in the 80's, they said an ice age was coming? Still, I know what I see. Winters here, we used to have snow cover all season. We don't anymore. When it rains, it is rarely a light shower or drizzle, it's a MAJOR storm. It's almost a daily occurance if not weekly.
The last 7 years we were in a drought. That's over so THEY say. At least I don't have to water the grass. We can't trust our politicians, they'll screw us any chance they get, after all, most of em used to be, or still are lawyers.
